Independent Living Services

Our guiding principle at Paraquad is the independent living philosophy, the belief that people with disabilities should integrate fully into society, have equal opportunities and maintain control of their lives. The entire community benefits when all citizens live with self-reliance and dignity.

Finding affordable, accessible housing and transportation.

Constructing and utilizing a workable budget.

Attaining and/or understanding benefits.

Gaining a better understanding of one’s disability.

Assisting with the identification of realistic goals through partnership with participant and assessment of needs.

Providing motivation and support to achieve personal goals.
